Stratovarius založili v roce 1984 bubeník a zpěvák Tuomo Lassila, baskytarista John Vihervä a kytarista Staffan Strahlman. Hudba Stratovarius byla v té době trochu jiná, než co hrají Stratovarius teď. Byli velmi ovlivnění Black Sabbath a Ozzy...

Píseň: Event Horizon

Interpret:
Stratovarius
Album:
Elysium
I'm standing outside
In darkness my breath is steaming
The sky's open wide
I hear the silence screaming


Deep in the dark somewhere in space
Spinning around leaving no trace


Nothing escapes
and the boundary's been breached
All matter and shape
Destination's reached


A star dies, collapsing in its core
End of the journey
It won't be seen anymore


I can see the point of no return
And then the light is slowly turning to red
Light years away, there is no concern
A force of gravity, event horizon lies ahead
